Abstract

In this study, we benchmark density functional theory gauge-including projector-augmented-wave (GIPAW) chemical shieldings against molecular shieldings for which basis set completeness has been achieved [Jensen et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 18, 21145 (2016)]. We demonstrate the importance of two-center corrections for GIPAW hydrogen shieldings. For the other nuclei studied, standard GIPAW is sufficiently accurate. We find that GIPAW can be pushed to closely approach the basis set limit. The only source of small inaccuracies lies in the contribution to the shielding that is caused by surface currents, which we estimate comparing GIPAW susceptibilities to converged molecular magnetizabilities.
